Tommy Chong officially becomes Pueblo marijuana shop co-owner

April 23, 2014

Tommy Chong‘s comic career is not “Up in Smoke,” nor is his newfound interest — as marijuana entrepreneur as part-owner of Marisol Therapeutics in Pueblo.

According to the Pueblo Chieftain, Chong became a partner in the Pueblo West business — for an undisclosed amount. His  chief role will be as a face of the business, a huge benefit for Marisol as it enters the marijuana market place in southern Colorado.
Chong made a public appearance at Marisol to celebrate his deal on the eve of “4/20,” the unofficial holiday for marijuana enthusiasts.

Chong and his comedic partner, Cheech Marin, performed their comedy act on April 17 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver before the 4/20 weekend celebration at the Civic Center.
